Structure, including a contact, a holding member, and a retaining reinforcement member

A structure comprising a contact, a holding member and a retaining reinforcement member, wherein:

• the contact has an engaged portion;
• the holding member holds the contact;
• the holding member has a lance, a base portion and a receiving portion;
• the lance extends in a cantilever manner;
• the lance has an end in a front-rear direction;
• the end of the lance is provided with an engaging portion;
• in the front-rear direction, the engaging portion is positioned rearward of the engaged portion and faces the engaged portion;
• the base portion is positioned apart from the lance in a perpendicular direction perpendicular to the front-rear direction;
• the receiving portion is positioned between the lance and the base portion in the perpendicular direction;
• the retaining reinforcement member is, at least in part, formed of an elastic member;
• the retaining reinforcement member is inserted into the receiving portion along the front-rear direction;
• the elastic member is compressed and is in close contact with the base portion or with the lance, and thereby movement of the lance is regulated;
• the structure comprises a plurality of the contacts;
• the retaining reinforcement member has a frame-like shape which surrounds the plurality of contacts;
• the retaining reinforcement member comprises a supporting portion and a waterproof sealing member;
• the supporting portion is made of an insulator with a frame-like shape;
• the supporting portion extends in the front-rear direction;
• the waterproof sealing member is formed of the elastic member with a ring shape;
• in a plane perpendicular to the front-rear direction, the waterproof sealing member is attached on the supporting portion and is supported by the supporting portion;
• and
• the waterproof sealing member is compressed and is in close contact with the base portion, and thereby the movement of the lance is regulated while the structure has a waterproof characteristic.
